So Cara, Dave and I decided to see if we could take 1 taxi all the way from Ouarzazate directly to our douars so as to not have to transfer bags 3 times between buses and taxis. We got quotes from a couple of cab drivers and in the end, reliable, Sidiq, our driver from Asfalou agreed to take us for the lowest price we were quoted. We trustingly tied our bags on the roof, climbed in and away we went.

10 hours later, after a brief stop to drop Cara off at her site, we were unloading our bags at the front door of our new home. The wind was blowing, the air was cool and everyone was in the fields working. Harvest season is in full force and it’s a busy time around Morocco. Hopefully we will settle in quickly and start getting our hands dirty. The yellow brick road is long and windy and we are bound to meet more then a few obstacles along the way but, inshallah, we will get to meet the wizard.
